Whigfield.
Ever since I was a little kid, listening to Saturday Night on the radio and buying the tapes, I've loved Whigfield.
I'm a Hardcore Raver at heart, but man, some of her tunes are just so damn good. |

I like a lot of Chumbawamba songs. I know they're regarded as a joke band but some of their earlier stuff I really good and they've got a really varied back catalogue |

I get a lot of unnecessary stick from friends and family for my love of the Bee Gees, I don't care I am still going to try and hit the high notes in Stayin Alive after I've had a few drinks. |

I worked in a club in the 90's and saw all of the bands from that era including Chumbawamba. Saw Jarvis Cocker in the corridor and thought he was just one of Pulp's hangers on.
Good times. |

The Whigfield Saturday Night tape was the first tape I bought and I thought it was amazing. It had drum brakes on the sleeve for some reason! Why? Who knows!
I don't listen to it now but I do torture friends with nerdcore from time to time, which I do genuinely and unironically enjoy (but I know most people really don't). |

Top tip. If you are in a shitkicking bar in America that has an Internet jukebox, 'your mother's got a penis' by GLC will invite anger rather than laughter. This also applies to 'gay bar' by electric six.
Absolutely not this callsign doing something like that..

I'd like to hear your ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhhh  .
Khruangbin and Stereolab don't often get keen audiences.

I often listen to music by The Hu (Mongolian throat singing metal band), or Alien Weaponry (Maori metal band) or Bloodywood (Hindi/Punjabi/English nu metal band with Bangra drums). Also bands like Dead South (bluegrass rock) and Postmodern Jukebox (have seen them 6 times)
Seen all of them live. |

I like alien weaponry
I like suicidal tendencies too, haven't listened/ followed to them for ages though. |

I forgot about that! Yeah, that was weird lol. I didn't even know what they were at the time, but loved the design of the sleeve. |

The only album I've ever taken back was Mongolian throat singing. Recommended by NME, or the Guardian or something.
Not my cup of tea. |

Just showing the subjectivity of music appreciation. I will say that live, The Hu are amazing. Really tribal. Saw them in Camden. By the end of the gig the crowd were ready to invade Islington k little horses.. um electric scooters  |

I still occasionally listen to The Mac lads.
Much of their lyrics are deeply disturbing in modern day society but they still make me laugh and it was the soundtrack to my early teens so I find the nostalgia value worth it.

I could also add rave music, I suppose. Anything banging and sweaty lol. Not many people I know love it, or even tolerate it.
Always hear the same complaints about it all being repetitive.
Intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, outro.
Pretty much every song follows that similar song structure. All music is repetitive, regardless of genre. |

Blimey, where to start?.. seems all the music I like is 'niche'.
Ozrics are about the most mainstream of it, though I do love Gong (whom the Ozrics supported last year) Jah Wobble, Eno, Amon Duul and the likes. I'd say Magma draws the weirdest reactions when I play it. |

Quite a lot of folk still think The Darkness are a silly gimmicky band, but man they can shred, and those high vocals ain't easy! Permission to Land is still a staple album in my frequent plays.
I enjoy Tom Waits, though most folk I say that to either don't know who he is, or think he's rubbish. I don't meet many Cradle of Filth fans either.
Whigfield's Saturday Night is a banger!

I love the blues and a lot of my faves are very early recordings from the likes of Robert Johnson, Leadbelly and Muddy Waters to name but a few and these recordings, as opposed to the actual music itself, can be problematic to contemporary listeners used to modern clarity. |

Saturday night came on my YouTube channel yesterday and I sang away to it while driving.
It brings back memories from when I was younger.

"I listen to alot of goregrind/grindcore/black metal that people would conaider unlistenable.
Also J pop 😂"
Yeah, I've always had a problem with Black Metal. Not the music! Often it is epic and even beautiful at times. No, its the screechy vocals I detest! Like having your 9 year old little sister having an apocalyptic never ending hissy fit because you've pulled the head of her fave teddy bear off! |
